Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.The “Allow List” and the enabled graphic filters can be set manually for a single computer or by using a Group Policy setting.The graphic filters that you need to enable must be added to the following registry subkeys:
For a single computer:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common\Security\AllowLists\GraphicsFilterImportFor a single computer that is running a 64-bit operating system:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Common\Security\AllowLists\GraphicsFilterImportFor a Group Policy setting:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\Common\Security\AllowLists\GraphicsFilterImportTo enable the “Allow List” for graphic filters, the AllowListEnabled value must be set to 1. To disable the “Allow List,” the AllowListEnabled value must be set to 0.Note If the AllowListEnabled value does not exist, you must create it as a REG_DWORD type.When the AllowListEnabled value is enabled, you can specify the list of graphic filters to enable by adding the graphic filters as a string value with the name FILTER.FLT (where FILTER.FLT is replaced with the actual name of the filter) together with the version number of the filter. The filter version number must use the following format: XXXX.YYYY.ZZZZ.WNote When you set the AllowListEnabled value to 1, the default list of enabled graphic filters is removed. To re-enable the default graphic filters and add the CGMIMP32.FLT graphic filter, you must specify them in the “Allow List.”The following table shows an example of the “Allow List” that contains the default graphic filters together with the CGMIMP32.FLT graphic filter:Collapse this tableExpand this tableNameTypeData(Default)REG_SZ(value not set)AllowListEnabledREG_DWORD0×00000001 (1)CGMIMP32.FLTREG_SZ2003.1100.8249.0EPSIMP32.FLTREG_SZ2003.1100.8314.0GIFIMP32.FLTREG_SZ2003.1100.8327.0JPEGIM32.FLTREG_SZ2003.1100.8327.0PICTIM32.FLTREG_SZ2003.1100.8249.0PNG32.FLTREG_SZ2003.1100.8329.0.
